production example 1

[Synthesis of (1,1′-dimethylsilylene)(2,2′-dimethylsilylene)-bis(cyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride]

[0105]About 13.8 g (600 mmol) of metal Na and 400 ml of dry tetrahydrofuran (THF) were loaded into a 1,000-ml three-necked flask replaced with nitrogen, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. 5 minutes after that, 1 to 2 ml of cyclopentadiene were dropped to the mixture. Once the generation of hydrogen stopped, 1 to 2 ml of cyclopentadiene were newly added to the resultant mixture. The above operation was repeated until a total of 50 ml (600 mmol) of cyclopentadiene were added. The reaction solution changed from a colorless, transparent one to an incarnadine one. After THF had been removed by distillation under reduced pressure, the resultant crystal was washed with hexane twice and solidified by drying under reduced pressure. As a result, cyclopentadienyl sodium as a pink powder was obtained.

[0106]457 ml of THF were added to 43.0 g (480 mmol) of cyclopentadienyl sodium at 0° C., an...

[0113]Under a nitrogen atmosphere, 3.4 ml of special grade toluene dehydrated so as to have a water content of 10 ppm or less, 0.2 mmol (2 mmol / ml toluene solution; 0.1 ml) of triisobutylaluminum, 10 μmol (10 μmol / ml toluene solution; 1 ml) of (1,1′-dimethylsilylene)(2,2′-dimethylsilylene)-bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride obtained in Production Example 1, 12 μmol (9.6 mg) of powdery N,N-dimethylanilinium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate, and 0.5 ml of 1-octene were loaded into a 50-ml Schlenk bottle made of glass, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After that, 60 μmol of methanol (MeOH) was added to the resultant and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour to prepare a catalyst composition liquid A (Zr concentration: 2 mmol / l, total volume: 5 ml). Here, the term “a catalyst composition liquid” refers to a preparation liquid of catalyst materials.

example 2

[0115]A catalyst composition liquid B was prepared by the same procedure as that of Example 1 except that the kind of the alcohol was changed to isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The polymerization of the monomers was performed with the catalyst composition liquid B by the same procedure as that of Example 1. The degree of conversion into a copolymer was 88.0 mass %.

Abstract

Provided is a method for producing an α-olefin polymer, comprising the step of polymerizing one or more kinds of α-olefins each having 3 to 30 carbon atoms with a polymerization catalyst obtained by using: (A) a metallocene compound; (B) an ionic compound capable of reacting with the metallocene compound to transform the compound into a cation; (C) an organometallic compound; and (D) one or more kinds of compounds selected from the group consisting of (d-1) an alcohol, (d-2) a phenol, and (d-3) an ether compound, the catalyst having a ratio between the component (A) and the component (D) of from 10:1 to 1:100 in terms of a molar ratio, and having a ratio of the component (D) to the component (C) of less than 1 in terms of a molar ratio.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for producing an α-olefin polymer and a hydrogenated α-olefin polymer.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A characteristic which a lubricating oil for automobiles and industrial machines has heretofore been required to have is, for example, a relatively high viscosity in terms of lubricating performance. However, in consideration of an environment conservation for which there are growing concerns in recent years, a further reduction in fuel consumption, further energy savings, and an increase in lifetime have been demanded, and hence a synthetic lubricating oil having a more excellent viscosity characteristic (higher viscosity index), a more excellent low-temperature characteristic (low-temperature flowability), and more excellent oxidation stability than those of a poly-α-olefin that has heretofore been used has been demanded. A conventional hydrocarbon-based synthetic lubricating oil is obtained by, for example, a method involving pol...
